O one who glances at tl1e past history of Lake Forest College, will come the thought Xvlltll' tl1ere'sa will, there's a way. For he would see that during a period of twelve years before its assured existence the plans of friends were frustrated, first, by the financial panic of 1557, then in 1365, by tl1e breaking up of the tirst regular class at the end of its sophomore year. Thirteen years afterward, eight young men and four young women entered the Freshman class of Lake Forest College. XVhen in December, IH77, the college building burned, the future of the institution seemed very dark indeed. But owing to the energy and interest of friends, the following September saw the new college hall smiling serenely at the thirty-seven students who were i11 the healthful pursuit of knowledge. And the work then begun so earnestly and bravely has progressed until, at the present day, there are three commo- dious recitation halls, a line gymnasium, a handsome library and chapel, and a su1111y hospital to meet the student needs. The four years course, under the direction of sixteen as efii- cient men as can be found in any institution of equivalent size, offers a thorough and liberal education to the earnest student. The school year is divided into two parts, known as semesters, the unit of work-a credit -being gained by a semester of daily recitation. Twenty-five credits-fourteen of required work, six along the line of a major subject, the remainder elective-are necessary for graduation. In the busy world of industry at home or abroad, in all the realms of thought and action, Lake Forest's students are proving men and women of sterling qualities Ellltl honorable purpose, and beyond the misty veil of the future gleams the light of fairer, brighter days, for Knowledge is IIOXV no more a fountain sealed.
